I am not sure what solved it, after a couple of more attempts I suddenly got a rather stable adhoc conneciton (probable some neighbour shutdown his wifi), so I figured to flash the firmware even though it says it is the same version. It still did not work directly after that but after two or three more attempts, it suddenly connected. And it keeps connecting even after a power cycle. The only thing I did not figure from the interface was that when you select the WPA2 setting you should leave the WEP setting to Open and use the passphrase instead of the shared key boxes.

Also the Adhoc mode (default or after a reset) does not proivide me with a DHCP lease, so i had to set my client manually to 169.254.1.1 with subnet 255.0.0.0 to be able to connect to it. This is not mentioned in the manual or tutorial.

Now I have only one more question, I have another wifi device that does not support the WPA+WPA2 mode my wifi is in at the moment. It seems to require a WPA only mode. Will this device support that with these settings since the Security type only offers a WPA2 setting

Our WPA2 implementation encompasses all testable iterations of WPA and WPA2, including TKIP, AES and the mixed TKIP+AES, so there shouldn't be any problems. Good catch on the adhoc connection addressing problem. This will be notated in the WiFi tutorial as well as possibly in the quickstart.

I ordered it from the states, from Smarthome to be exact. But you pay a lot extra to get it to europe. Next to the international shipping I had to pay also 30 euro taxes over it, so 90 euro to buy, 40 euro for shipping and 30 euro taxes.

If you are looking for Global Caché hardware in Europe, I would contact Mike Kirsch. He is a Manager of Sales over at Comm-Tec, and will easily be able to set up a unit for you if you are in need of one. His email is below:

Yes you mailed me this and i am looking forward to hearing from him. I also mailed the belgian supplier, but i doubt they ll sell to a private seller. But i am sure i ll get a source somewhere. The import taxes are holding me back from buying in the states (and i think the power plug is different too).
